ABSTRACT 



The physical oceanography of the Gull" of Maine and adjacent waters in 

 January 1968 and January-February 1969 is described. Temperature, salin- 

 ity, and density data are presented in surface contours and profiles. Dissolved 

 oxygen and chlorophyll data are presented in section profiles. Climatic con- 

 ditions of the region were reflected in the temperature and salinity of the 

 surface waters. Intrusion of Gulf Stream water into the Gulf of Maine is 

 inferred from T-S relations and dissolved oxygen data.
